Chapter 125: Fiery Gaze

 Chapter 125: Fiery Gaze

Lu Sanzhu had already inquired about the address from Da Niu a long time ago. Yesterday, the first thing he did after coming to the county was to come and take a look at the shop. He even arrogantly instructed Zheng Gong and the others, as if he were the owner himself.

It's fortunate that Zheng Gong knew Lu Erbai and understood Lu Sanzhu's character. He simply smiled and didn't say much, and the two of them chatted for a while.

Shu Yu got off the mule cart, and Lu Sanzhu immediately said, "I'll go find someone right now."

Without even entering the shop, he led the mule cart away.

Suppressing the urge to roll her eyes, Shu Yu entered the store.

Zheng Gong was indeed fast. It was only the third day, and he had already almost finished repairing the fitting rooms and the passage. They would deal with the remaining details after completing all the repairs. Now they were starting to renovate the hall.

Seeing Shu Yu coming over, Zheng Gong wiped away his sweat and said, "Ms Lu, take a look. Is the handling of the fitting rooms acceptable? According to your instructions, they have good ventilation and lighting."

Shu Yu looked and saw that it was exactly as she had imagined.

She nodded in satisfaction and discussed further with Zheng Gong.

When she came out again, she saw a young worker suddenly approaching and saying, "Ms Lu, there's a quite noble gentleman outside. I don't know what he wants. He's just standing at the entrance and smiling, shaking his head when asked any questions."

Shu Yu was startled and followed the worker to the shop's entrance.

Then she looked at the person in front of her with surprise and said, "Master Meng? Are you here to see me?"

Meng Yunzheng nodded and glanced inside the shop.

Shu Yu immediately said, "Come in, please have a seat first."

Meng Yunzheng smiled at Zheng Gong and the others, displaying a gentle and refined demeanor that made people unconsciously feel a warm breeze.

Seeing the kind expressions on Zheng Gong and the others, Meng Yunzheng understood that it wasn't his smile that was the problem; it was Shu Yu's gaze.

His perfectly executed smile... was clearly flawless.

Shu Yu took Meng Yunzheng to the backyard, which had already been partitioned off. Although it was a bit messy, at least there was enough private space.

"Meng Gongzi, please have a seat. I'll go pour you a glass of water," Shu Yu said.

But Meng Yunzheng stopped her with a hand gesture.

Shu Yu asked, "Do you want paper and pen?"

Seeing him nod, Shu Yu agreed, "Alright, wait a moment."

Their communication indeed relied heavily on paper and pen.

Shu Yu quickly returned with the items. However, when Meng Yunzheng saw the rough paper and charcoal pen, his facial expression involuntarily cracked.

Shu Yu waved her hand and said, "Just make do with them for now. I haven't prepared ink and paper for painting. This paper is a bit rough but durable, suitable for Zheng Gong's painting size."

Meng Yunzheng remained silent.

He took the charcoal pen, and his fingers were instantly stained black.

Glancing at it briefly, he continued writing.

Shu Yu didn't need to ask; he had already written down his purpose for coming here.

However, initially, Shu Yu thought he had encountered some problem and wanted her help. But to her surprise, Meng Yunzheng wrote about Zhang Shu.

"The man who asked me for directions a few days ago, do you know him?" he wrote.

Shu Yu frowned and nodded, "Yes, you... have you seen him again?"

Meng Yunzheng thought Shu Yu was truly perceptive and nodded slightly.

Shu Yu immediately became alert. "Where did you see him? What was he doing when you saw him?"

Meng Yunzheng lowered his head and continued writing, "He was at my doorstep. These past two days, whenever I went out, I saw him squatting at the door, watching me. His gaze..."

He paused his pen for a moment, glanced at Shu Yu, and continued writing, "His gaze was intense."
